More Pre

What would Steve Prefontaine be doing today

if he had survived the night of May 30, 1975?

Would he be a Nike executive or board member?

Would he be running his own company?

Coaching? Commentating?

Would he be a US Senator?

We cannot know, though all are possible.

I imagine he would have moved to the marathon

in the late seventies or early 80's.

I imagine he would continue to run for

recreation and for health, he would be

about 60 this year.

Whatever the case...

Pre lives on...

NOTES ON 

LE TOUR 2011 

Watched a bit of the Tour De France, version 2011.  It wrapped up Sunday.  Cadel Evans of Australia wins the overall. Andy and Frank Schleck: 2nd and 3rd respectively.

The real story for me was Tom Voekler of France.  He managed to win a breakaway stage and hold on for 9 days as the leader, he rode magnificently in the mountains with great determination to hold onto the yellow jersey.  For a rider not known as a climber he just rode so well right next to the star climbers for so long, we thought he just might find a way to win.  He did not.  He finsihed 4th overall.  Awesome job Tommy V!  

The words are: Determination, persaverance, pride, inspiration!
